TBS greenlit The Cops back in January of 2017. The 10-episode first season, starring Brooks and C.K., was due to premiere in 2018. At the time of the series order, TBS said, “The Cops follows Al (Brooks) and Lou (C.K.), two Los Angeles patrolmen trying their best to protect and serve, sometimes failing at both. Ride with them as they patrol one of the biggest cities in the world, then go home with them and be glad you’re not married to either.” Brooks and C.K. were executive producing with Greg Daniels, Dino Stamatopoulos, Dave Becky, and Howard Klein.
